Project Officer

Applications are invited for the post of Project Officer (Inclusive Histories) in the School of Humanities.
Inclusive Histories is a collaborative research and schools engagement project aiming to support the more inclusive teaching of British political history as set out in the AQA Thematic GCSE specification, Britain: Power and the People: c1170 to the present day. As part of this project, stories will be researched that foreground the voice, experience and agency of traditionally marginalised groups in the struggle for rights and representation. This includes but is not limited to stories relating to members of the global majority, LGBTQIA+ people, working class people, women and disabled people, as well as those with intersecting identities. As Project Officer you will play a key role in working with consultant teachers to transform the research outputs produced by our Research Associates into resources ready for the classroom. You will also be responsible for creating and managing content for the project's website and social media channels; for
organising filming days (including the coordination of host partners, videographers, and presenters/actors); and for project managing a series of events and workshops.

You will have an interest in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion and the history of rights and representation; excellent organisational skills; experience or a demonstrable aptitude for the creation of resources intended for a school audience; and the ability to work on your own initiative and to act pro-actively. You will also be confident in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and Teams, meeting targets, and with hybrid working. Knowledge of secondary education is essential, and project management experience is desirable. This experience need not have been gained in a university role. Comparable experience gained in the heritage, secondary education or other settings is also welcome.

In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
# Generous annual leave entitlement
# Training and Development opportunities
# Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution
# Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing.
